<pre>I'm using wonderful pdftocairo on my printserver for PDF to PS level3
conversion, and from time to time I stumble upon PDFs that come with
non-embedded Type 1 fonts.
$ pdffonts my.pdf
name type encoding emb sub
uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- ---
--- ---------
Helvetica Type 1 WinAnsi no no
no 17 0
Helvetica-Bold Type 1 WinAnsi no no
no 18 0
pdftops embeds fonts on the fly, but has an option to pass font data as is.
pdftocairo doesn't embed fonts into PS, and doesn't have any relevant options.
I know can manually do something like
pdftocairo -pdf my.pdf - | pdftocairo -ps -level3 - result.ps
and it will embed fonts, but that means custom filters for the CUPS server, and
double processing for the file.
Could pdftocairo please have an option to embed fonts if asked to? It seems to
be capable of doing it, but doesn't have a way for PDF to PS conversion.
Thanks!</pre>
